1.
We share a bathroom with 2 other sisters, and that bathroom just
happens to be right next to our bedroom door. Today, they left early to
go to use the internet, and we were still studying in our room. All of a sudden,
I looked up and noticed that our room had been converted into a lake.
Isn´t that cool? The toilet overflowed. But when I say overflowed, I
mean it OVERFLOWED. Completely. So we got to clean that up today. But
somehow, we found a way to enjoy it. Another one of those moments that
God gives us to learn how to laugh, and enjoy life despite all of it´s
imperfection. The good news is that we had an excuse to clean up all the
dirt on the floor :)
2. The elder sitting next
to me is finishing his mission next week. This is the last time that
he´s going to come to an internet cafe to write his family, because next
week he´ll be stepping off the plane and seeing them face to face! He
was telling me all about his plans for the next few weeks. His mom and
his brother are coming to Peru, and they´re going to Machu Picchu and to
a bunch of other places before he actually returns to home. He is
so excited! It´s kind of funny to see his reactions. He´s like "This is
my mom´s last email. This is my girlfriends last email." He said that
next week it´s going to be raining and thundering in the jungle. I told
him to shut up because I really miss rain and thunder. And my mom.
Hahaha it was just a joke. :) But then all of a sudden he got really
quiet, and I noticed that he was crying, so I didn´t say anything. The
feelings that a missionary has at the end of the mission are
indescribable. Next week, I start my last transfer! Can you believe
it??? I feel like the time has gone by so quickly, but I feel like I´ve
been able to live, learn, love and feel so much. I´m so excited for this
last little chunk of time, and I know that God has a perfect plan.
There are lots of things that I don´t know, but of that I am sure.
I
love you so much! Keep being wonderful, remember that I love you! I´ll
tell you next week about when I´ll be calling and everything. I love
you!!!!
All my love,
Hermana Scott
